Account created under 18 is limited

[Mgues24]

Hi I created an account as a minor and it has been limited. I need to supply verification with ID but I’m underage so is there anyway to get my money back? I’ve heard they hold it for 180 days then return it to you and close the account? Any help would be appreciated

Paypal does not allow account holders under the age of 18.
PayPal asks for a birth date when you register so whilst you can make a PayPal account with false information the account will need to be verified to accept funds into your balance or lift any limits.
As you would be unable to verify your account it would be locked for further use.
Minors can’t enter legal contracts so you may not have any recourse to get your money back until you were 18, unless you contact them and request funds being sent to a parents Paypal account, not guaranteed however.
If and only if paypal allow you to open a new account when you are 18 (not guaranteed as you have already broken their rules) then you could ask them to transfer the funds across for you.
